Advice Request KSC Free performance issues

[jackuars]

I recently installed KSC Free, the first few days, I didn't feel any performance issues and it consumed very little memory 60-70MB in the background. It felt lighter than ESET in terms of RAM consumption, but as soon as I started using a resource intensive program such as Tableau the performance came to a crawl. I have an Intel i5 laptop, Intel HD 5500 with 8GB RAM, I run very few programs in the background.

I know that RAM consumption is not an indicator of performance, but the values showing in Task manager doesn't match with what's showing on Process Explorer by Sysinternals, are they deliberately showing lower values in Task manager?

Are you using windows 10? If so try disabling " background apps" in setting> privacy. Upgrading your Hard disk to an ssd can dramatically improve your laptops performance. I really suspect your hdd is the bottle neck in your system.

This is not a common KSCFree behaviour

Kaspersky use many private bytes

Almost all AVs does this. An AV like Kaspersky can't possibly do all the work with 40, 50 mb of ram. Ram usage would increase based on the program you're running, based on the task you're doing and also the available ram. Anyway, your value is too high and doesn't seem normal.

Checked with Process Explorer....

Maybe checking your settings with harlan4096's tweaks could help...

 

[harlan4096]

That specific picture has nothing to do with resource/RAM consumption

Do you have many apps at Logon that could interract with KSCF?

I've used KIS & KAV but not free on many PC's with more & less RAM than yours & Kaspersky has never caused the PC to slow to a crawl, it's far from normal in my experience.

I have noticed an app delay. Steam starts after 10 seconds with KSC free. Now im back to Win Defender and there no Impact with Steam...ready in 4 Seconds. Another observation is the NAT Type in some games.he is limited with KSC free, but open with Defender

Did you perform a full system scan. Kaspersky is one of the security products that greatly benefit from one full scan.

And the free version is very light . I have not any delay to my laptop.

There seems to be some problem. This is my KIS 20 patch J during a quick scan.

The problem with your system is that it uses too much ram. It's definitely not from Kaspersky. Try this on your windows. Tutorial - How to slim Windows 10 and make it superfast And this

I dont know why steam is delayed with KSC. All game folders are in exclusions. Full Scan is done and tweaked for better performance.

Could be from the behaviour blocker, due to suspicious tasks from Tableau, other than that Kaspersky is only heavy when disinfecting malware.

Kaspersky use many private bytes

Hardly the likes of F-Secure have +400MB, plus that is reserved memory anyway, is not being used.

The Private Bytes counter indicates the total amount of memory that a process has allocated, not including memory shared with other processes.

That why it's called Private Bytes, if you guys wanna check on how much RAM a process is using WS Private Bytes is the most accurate metric (it shows what memory that process alone is using).

The Working Set shows shared memory usage, which will duplicate values like avp.exe already takes into account the avpui.exe values and probably other processes (is not showing the values of the avp.exe alone).

Could be Windows itself? Since the recent WU KB for V1909 booting up, logging in and opening programs take a few extra seconds.

Intel i7 4th-gen, 8GB and SSD.

It couldn't possibly be that, could it? M$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
